THE BACHELOR'S DOOM, Students of American ñction are times bewildered by the part which secret societies play in the life of that great country.

MYSTERY OF THE GLANDS.

Scientists have discovered that the thymus gland, a small gland just above the heart, lost its use for human beings. ages ago, but that milkers of years back, during the evolutionary period when man's prehistoric ancestors faid eggs, the gland was of the utmost rive. This statement was made by Dr. Oscar Riddle, of the Carnegie Station for

convention of the rolution, before a

Association

for the Advancement of Science, at Cincin nati, who have been devoting much study of to the thymus gland, the presence

which in the human body baled investi

Dr. Riddle told the gators for yeLIS. assambled scientists on December 28th that the thymus gland was really mother to the human race," because even while our ancestors lived in water it was the thymus these questors which made possible the in production of the egg envelopes withia which their young were cradled and pre- tected until they were ready for indepeti. dent life.

The thymus gland does not function in the human body today," said Dr. Riddle, but it is vital in the organism of female birds. Observation of pigeons and doves with a defective thymus gland disclosed that, instead, of two, they pro duced one egg, with too little albumen ani shell, and that the embryo in such exgi usually died, The administration of a minute amount of dried thymus of an ex soon corrected the defect.

Dr. James McMurrich. University of Toronto, retiring president of the associa tion, defended Darwin's theory of ecolu- tion. He said evidence in its favour accumulated, and in evidence contrary it came to light. "Darwin." he said, was looking for the origin of species. The modern biologist, a step further, is looking for the origin of variations and mechanism of heredity, problems far beyond Darwin's times. But he stand. the foundation built by Darwin since the whole structure of modern philosophy rests ou that foundalion."
